Alex Hunt: This nose is burly and thick-set, with heady jam and medicinal notes. The palate has some freshness still but not a lot of definition. It’s a bit vague and non-varietal—more loose, generic Rhône style than specifically Syrah. 85

Andrew Jefford: Deep, dark black-red. Rather earthy and farmy, and sweet with it, lacking a little purity and finesse. A little bit heavy and stewy on the palate, though I’m grateful for the ripeness and would enjoy drinking this wine in the short term. 84

Peter Liem: Bold and luscious in its ripeness, this is delicious without being very long or complex. 89
